Thank you Chris for your help. I will check out that article. In response to
your question : It doesn't matter which secection I make, be it 'safe mode'
, 'start normally', etc, the selection, which ever one it is, causes the
reboot loop that begins with the Compaq logo, then the Windows tablet pc logo
and some action there, a blue screen that is up for a second, and I cannot
stop the screen to read what it says, then the screen that windows did not
open normally and the various choices, any of which when selected will
restart the loop.

I appreciate your interest. BK

Well, if you can't get into Safe Mode you're probably looking at
reinstalling. I don't remember if Compaq furnishes an in-place "repair"
install on their recovery media or not, but you might want to check the
information on their web site about the options. It really sounds like a
corrupt driver is causing the restarting.

FWIW:
The COMPAQ/HP CD-set holds the normal XP install plus the [COMPONENTS]
on the second CD.
So it allows for a "Repair" install as does ever "normal" XP CD.
I doubt, however, that this might help in the situation
given/explained.
